Lucasfilm is postponing the scheduled 3-D fall rereleases of
Star Wars: Episode II — Attack of The Clones and
Episode III — Revenge of the Sith.

“Given the recent development that we are moving forward with a new
Star Wars trilogy, we will now focus 100 percent of our efforts on
Star Wars: Episode VII in order to ensure the best possible experience for our fans,”
Lucasfilm said in a statement. “We will post further information about our 3-D release plans at a
later date.”

The changed plans don’t come as a huge surprise; last year’s 3-D rerelease of
Star Wars: Episode I — The Phantom Menace grossed only $43 million, demonstrating that
audiences have little appetite to see the films in the format.
